Agenda • Market Trends & Business Challenges • Consolidate & Simplify IT • Standardization of Processes • Shared Services • Accountability and Security • Keys to Success • Leveraging our Experience • Q & A
The Topic • Oracle embarked on a journey to consolidate all of our production Email, ERP and CRM systems. Our old "model" of separate geographically based systems simply couldn't provide the corporation with the information we needed to run our business. • How many people are employed by Oracle? • How much of what product did we sell today?
Rolling Countries into the Global SSCPhase One – Local Disparate Systems
Market Trends • Consolidation of Systems • Standardization of Processes • Move to Shared Service Centers • Focus on Security • Corporate Compliance • Do More With Less…
Business Challenges • Multiple Data Centers • Multiple Databases • Multiple Environments • Variety of Applications Deployed • Variety of platforms and Operating Systems • Inconsistent Usage of Applications and Business Practices • Multiple Support Groups • Transactional Vs. Informational Systems
Why Consolidate & Go Global? • It’s all about INFORMATION • Quality • Availability/Access • Improving Service • Reducing costs • Hardware • Facilities • Headcount
Applications IT: Organization • IT organization • Business processes, solutions and support by LOB (Marketing, Sales, Finance, Support, Education, Consulting, HR) • Process Definition • Solution Design • Functional Support • Implementations • Systems • Environments • Performance Tuning • Technical Support • Data Migrations • Patching • Strategy, Planning and Operations • Applications Integration and Architecture • Cross LOB Products and functions (workflow, imaging, etc.)
Types of Consolidation • Each type of consolidation provides increasing levels of return • Hardware/System Services • Software/Databases • Business Processes • Shared Services/Process Administration Consolidate As Much As Possible!

Advantages of Standardized Processes • Reduced processing and per transaction costs • Ability to leverage best practices from different groups/regions • Better (smarter) information • Comparing like data • Better support across common processes • Simplification through standardization
Defining Standardized Processes • Organization and Approach • Business • Global Process Owners (GPO) • Identify process flows working with IT • Divisional (regional) owners (DPO) • Prioritization within Area • Applications IT • Global Solution Owners (GSO) • Mirror Business Process Organization (GSO/DSO) • Steering Committees • Communication, Progress Review and Decision Making • Leadership & Escalation Resolution…Not Management by Committee
Advantages of Shared Services • Increase Efficiency, Control, and Quality • Blend of Centralization and Decentralization • Centralized Control of Key Areas (Accounting) • Focused Professionals Delivering Higher Quality Services • Lower Cost • Elimination of Redundant Structures • Economies of Scale • Move to Low-cost Cities, States, or Countries

IT Is Accountable • To Management, Shareholders and The Public • To CEO and Board of Directors • To Employees • To the SEC or other regulatory agencies • To Agency heads and citizens who require services • To Taxpayers who fund programs Standard Processes and Shared Services Increase Visibility of Operations
System Security • Consolidated System Benefits • Fewer Control Points Leads to Better Control • Less to Monitor Means More Detailed Monitoring • Fewer People to Maintain and Access • Single Set of Technology to Support & Leverage • Less Expensive and Complex for Disaster Recovery Improved Control, Improved Monitoring, Simplified Infrastructure, Less Exposure = Improved Security!
Keys to Success • Obtain & leverage executive/senior management commitment • Build a realistic plan • Organize centrally • Simplify and Consolidate as much as possible • Automate and centralize business processes • Deploy standard, out of the box products • Don’t customize, extend if necessary • Leverage shared services where appropriate • Don’t underestimate the hardest part-MANAGING CHANGE!
Greatest Business Insight • Embedded analytics, pre-built intelligence • Deep and wide operational dashboards • Industry-based KPIs • Business intelligence tied to actions • Open to third party data Accurate and timely information for better decisions
Deep and Adaptive Industry Processes • Industry-based configurations • BPEL assisted configurations • Modularized components • Broad API / web services support • User personalization • Tailored business process flows Meet changing business requirements to maintain competitive advantage
Superior Ownership Experience • Automated, tailored installs • Minimal downtime upgrades • Active system and business monitoring • Focus on documentation and training • Packaged integration… from server technology, middleware, through to applications Less complexity equals lower cost and risk
Conclusions about applying Oracle’s success to the Public Sector • An investment in e-Government, similar in scope to that of Oracle’s, would likely yield extremely attractive financial returns • Potentially more important, could be the impact it would have on organizational performancewhen viewed through the different Essential Factors • Implementing e-government solutions should be driven by senior leadershipand accompanied by organizational transformationefforts • IT infrastructure improvement is a key first step and an enabler • Well focused, structured analysis should be performed earlyto guide the effort and secure both organizational buy-in and resources “Everyone wants to transform…. nobody wants to change”
